Forex Secret Trading Strategies

If there were any forex secret trading strategies they could include these indicators, methods and information shown below;

Amongst traders winning competitions and rumors of how successful
traders operate, this list has been compiled to include some of their
methods. You will have to work out the finer details and how to put them
into practice to make them work for YOU.

Forex secret trading idea's and methods, can be said to be the
building blocks that some successful traders use. These traders build
well thought out strategies based on some of the basic information shown
here. It may be surprising to find out that their secret methods are
not as complex as a newbie may think.

The basic precepts are labeled on the chart as shown above. We will consider each one.

Price moves in waves on every time frame.

Label 1 on chart shows downward zig zag formation. (3 wave pattern).

Label 2 on chart shows five leg wave pattern, we
can call this an impulse. Or think of it as two zig zags sharing the
middle wave. (ie The last wave in the first zig zag becomes the first
wave in the second zig zag).

When price decides to move higher or lower, it will do so by means of waves.

Prices respond to natural square levels.

Label 3 on the chart shows how price often
stalls or reverses very close to natural square levels. These areas can
be used as early warning signs of high probability end or start of price
moves. Once natural square levels are placed on the chart, take a look
into how they CONFIRM normal support and resistance levels where
"everybody" is buying and selling. Once price moves through these areas
any retracements back to these levels present excellent buying and
selling points. Remember that once price moves through resistance, in a
large percentage of times this area becomes support. Or for short
positions, once support is breached, this area becomes resistance if
price tries to move up through that level again.

Master traders like waiting for double or triple tops or bottoms
before entering a position. How much better when we can do this near
natural square levels.

Label 4 shows us the mathematical probability is
greatly increased when price reaches the outer bounds of the bollinger
bands. Once price moves into the outer bands there is a higher
probability that price will reverse from that situation. It is essential
to use the bollinger bands under the correct conditions. For example
when price is trending and reverses into a bollinger band area this is a
good place to enter the position in line with the trend. Bollinger
bands also work well in sideways market conditions.

Exponential moving averages more powerful than you may think.

This is probably the most important forex secret trading tip out of all those presented on this page.

Label 5
The red and the blue lines on the chart show exponential moving
averages. Novice trades seem to be introduced to them at the beginning
of their trading education but then for some reason not proceed to fully
master them. Simple cross over techniques produce somewhat ordinary
results, nothing spectacular.

Don't be fooled into thinking that using moving average
crossovers is for amateurs. Edward Burke proved this by winning the 2008
CNBC Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge simply by using a combination
of short term and long term moving average crossovers. A portion of his
concluding remarks in his ebook, he says ... "I had a fantastic
experience implementing this system and winning the CNBC Million Dollar
Challenge. I was able to hold my own against some of the sharpest
trading minds in the world".

Indeed Ed did, he beat over 254,000 other traders to win the
event with what? A well thought out and tested moving average crossover
system! The exact entry and exit rules based on this strategy are
revealed in his ebook entitled -
How I Won : Making Money In Stock Trends.

Even
though the book is entitled "stock trends", Ed used the system to make
about 700 currency trades over a four day period to blitz the
competition.

I would recommend this book to all types of traders, whether they
be stock traders, forex traders, commodity traders etc. The system also
works on every time frame imaginable, from minute charts to weekly,
monthly, quarterly or yearly charts.

robot builders. Fantastic programing opportunities to test different
moving averages and different time periods. Learn about automated forex

But first we MUST consider;

Before opening a position try and have your profit target larger
than your stop loss. Why? Because if your system only achieves a 50% hit
rate (random) at least you will make some money.

Order Placement

On the above graphic of my order placement panel we see
that I am about to place a sell (go short) order for the EUR/USD
currency pair.

My forex brokers software tells me what my potential profit and
potential loss will be when I enter my profit target and stop loss
level. As seen on the bottom of the panel we see the profit target of
186 pips will result in a profit of $372.60 and a potential loss of
$111.40. (56 pips).

I can play around with the contract amount of 20,000 units,
either increasing or decreasing the amount of units to ensure my
potential loss is manageable should the trade go against me. Learn more
